Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « qualification position ». This is not a routine bench role, but a position designed to test your ability to build an academic career, with publication, teaching, and research independence. Your file should therefore foreground a first-author paper, then a recent reference that confirms your work under S1/S2 conditions and your ability to work independently. The right move is to order the documents so those two proofs are immediately visible when the PDF is opened.
